How do you file for child support and visitation without using an attorney? Or can you?

You can do all these things on your own. But its best to have a good attorney to guide you through a process that is quite unfamiliar and sometimes scary to most people.

Issues pertaining to children are modifiable. This includes visitation, custody and child support. So, if a valid order for visitation was previously entered as you have stated and that order has not been trumped by a subsequent order terminating visitation or modifying visitation, then that order is still a valid order. Assuming the order is still effective, then you and your ex can petition the court to modify the order to whatever visitation arrangement you agree on. The court has to determine whether the modification serves the best interests of the child. Thats the simple answer. However, these matters are not that simple. There are questions that I have and I'm sure many of my colleagues will have as well dealing with the specifics of your case. I encourage you to contact an attorney to discuss the specifics of your case in a consultation. Any attorney representing you in this matter will have questions that need to be answered before preparing documents and going to court. Why? Because we are answerable to the Judge. They judge may have questions of his own on why the visitation is being modified or other questions as well pertaining to the lapse in time with visitation. The Judge may have questions pertaining to the best interests of the child. Or the Judge may have no questions at all and be thankful to you and your ex that you both came to an agreement.
